party, which includes some non-
Marxist elements, to suppport him.
The National Assembly-parlia-
ment--will vote on a new presi-
bent Saturday to replace An-
tonin Novotny, the hard-liner who
resigned under pressure last week.
Svoboda's election was near cer-
tain.
Party chief Alexander Dubcek
told the committee that Svoboda,
a Communist, was "the most suit-
able person at the present time
who could help in the unification
of our nation and consolidating
the internal political situation."
He received 105 of 107 Central
Committee ballots.
The presidency carries with it
designation as chief of state.
Largely ceremonial until now, the
post could become more impor-
tant with the reworking of gov-
ernment promised by the reform
leadership.
Svoboda, a commander of Czech
forces fighting alongside the Com-
munist army in World War II,
left government in 1951 and was
since active chiefly as a military
historian.
Novotny, whom Dubcek ousted as
party chief last January, lost the'
last shred of his political power
at the meeting. The official Czech'
press agency CTK said he sur-
rendered his posts on the party's
Central Committee secretariat and
presidium.

on tax-exempt bonds used to fi-
nance private factories and block.
ed a move to place a tax curb
on trade with Communist na-
tions.
But it failed to reach a deci-
sion on a proposal to impose a
10 per cent income tax surcharge
linked with a $6 billion cut in fed-
eral spending.
Under debate is a House-passed
measure to extend automobile and
telephone excise taxes which are
scheduled to drop sharply on
April 1. Under previous legisla-
tion, the-7 per cent levy on autos
is to drop to 2 per cent and the
10 per cent impost on phone serv-
ice is to go to 1 per cent.
The House adjourned Thurs-
day until noon Monday.
However, since the Senate
skirmishing centers on side issues
and there is no substantial op-
position to extending these levies,
the Internal Revenue Service an-
nounced it plans to continue col-
lections at current rates in belief
that the extension will be voted
retroactively in the near future.
Reversing an action taken ear-
lier, the Senate voted 50 to 32 to
bar after Jan. 1 the issuance of
tax exempt municipal or state
bonds for the purpose of financing
industrial development by private
corporations.
The Treasury Department al-
ready had issued an executive order
halting issuance of such bonds-
known as IDB's--effective March
15. But in a Tuesday test the Sen-
ate voted 51 to 32 to continue the
tax exempt status of such bonds
indefinitely.
The IDB's are used to raise
funds for industrial plants and
are retired through rentals paid
by the benefiting company. Be-
cause the bonds are issued in the
name of a local or state govern-
ment unit, interest on them is tax
exempt and, in effect, enables the
corporation to raise funds at a
cost substantially lower tharl
through private borrowing.
On a 44-38 roll call, the Sen-
ate rejected an amendment by
Sen. Karl E. Mundt, (R-SD),
which would have .imposed a 20
per cent added tax on all the in-
come of any company which ships
goods to a Communist nation that
is supplying goods to North Viet-
nam.

The endless aloneness and desperate
apathy of the drug addict
. .the first hipster drama to be seen in New
York . . . the only and balanced work ever created
by a Beat Generation writer."
Robert Brustein, New Republic
".. ..a farrago of dirt, small-time philosophy, empty
talk and extended runs of 'cool music'."
Louis Calta, New York Times
"Gelber has tried to locate man's position in the
universe not cleverly, but well, with a method in-
spired by one jazz musicians use, when the indi-
vidual soloists take turns improvising on a more or
less agreed-upon theme ...we are conscious of a
non-wish-fulfilling truthfulness seldom found in the
theater ... it is probable that the sense of working
against phoniness which is now the play's greatest
virtue would not have existed had Mr. Gelber chosen
to write his play in a more audience-satisfying
